    摘要: The invention relates to the preparation of biological cells for the mass spectrometric analysis of cellular properties such as taxonomic classification, antibiotic resistances, response to drugs or other active substances, and others. The cells can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic microorganisms which have particularly been cultivated directly on a mass spectrometric sample support, or eukaryotic cells from tissues or cell cultures. The invention proposes that the cells are not disrupted by adding matrix solution for a subsequent ionization by matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI), but that they are disrupted in a separate treatment step using acids and/or solvents on the sample support itself. Surprisingly, the cell proteins released then adhere to the sample support so that they can be carefully washed with buffer solution to remove salts and other soluble impurities which can stem from earlier treatment steps, for example from nutrient solution.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of enriching a pathogen using an homobifunctional imidoester group, and the method of enriching a pathogen and extracting nucleic acids using homobifunctional imidoester compound (DMA, DMP, DMS) according to the present invention can quickly extract a small amount of pathogen contained in a sample without the use of special equipment and can be used as in situ diagnosis, and since it is possible to enrich a pathogen and extract nucleic acids simultaneously in one tube or a chip, it has the advantage of being more efficient than the conventional method, saving time and cost, and being easy to use.

    摘要: A silicon substrate analyzing device with which impurities such as trace metals in a silicon substrate having a thick nitride film or oxide film formed on a silicon substrate surface can be analyzed with a high precision by ICP-MS. The silicon substrate analyzing device includes a load port, a substrate transportation robot, an aligner, a drying chamber, a gas-phase decomposition chamber, an analysis scan port having an analysis stage and a substrate analyzing nozzle, an analysis liquid collecting means, and an analysis means for performing inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The silicon substrate having an oxide film or a nitride film formed on the silicon substrate is subjected to scanning the surface of the silicon substrate with a high-concentration recovered liquid with use of the substrate analyzing nozzle so that the high-concentration recovered liquid is recovered. The recovered high-concentration recovered liquid is discharged onto the surface of the silicon substrate and then heated and dried. The surface of the silicon substrate is scanned with the analysis liquid so that the impurities are recovered, and the analysis liquid is analyzed by ICP-MS.
